Scientific paper
Viking high resolution IR data is used in an examination of the hilly and cratered material of Scott and Carr (1978), supposed to be the oldest extensively exposed surface on Mars. Measured nighttime temperatures at 11 and 20 microns indicate inertia blocks, surrounded by lower thermal inertia soil. Geologic features crossed by the Viking data generally show no difference from the regional properties. Imaging data from within and around the Arabia low thermal inertia region indicate that subdued surface morphology is not always associated with low thermal inertias. The mantling of ancient northern hemisphere cratered terrain by fine grained material does not allow thermal measurements to be directly related to rock unit properties, but less mantling may be present in southern hemisphere locations of this material.
